Manchester Approach Frequency change
Just a reminder that the main approach frequency will change on 19th Janaury from 119.525 to 135.00.
A further change effecting airways frequencies will happen in February.

Re: Manchester Approach Frequency change
Thanks for that, i didn't realise they were changing the frequencies!
It's been a few years since their last change. Are they changing 134.42 and finally getting rid of 133.8! For some strange reason i can listen to 134.42 clearly, 133.8 on the other hand doesn't transmit over the same range! I am unable to recieve air traffic control transmissions and hardly any aircraft transmissions
Regards
James

Area Frequency change
16th February - 133.40 (Trent sector) will change to 119.525, but I have yet to see an AIRAC that actually includes this change so it may not have been finalised.
Changes normally happen on a Thursday and on a 28 day cycle.
Hope that helps

Re: Manchester Approach Frequency change
I can hear transmissions on this frequency clearly!
However, with it changing to the current app frequency, i presume they have to do something so that transmissions can be heard on a wider scale? I am therefore hoping that i can still listen to all transmissions when this changes to 119.525?
Any idea why i can't hear the majority of transmissions on 133.8?

No sarcasm - just strange humour!!
According to the NOTAm 119.525 was withdrawn at 1200 today.
I presume this was in order that TELS (Telecommunications) could put new crystals into the airport's radios with the amended frequency in time for the change!
Hope thats a little clearer. You can see by my wording that I am use to old things (just like me) like crystal radios etc.

You've got more that one!!!
Oh well, you probably never program it for months on end and then you get the whole year's practice in just 1 day. Now you will know what to do in February for the change of area frequency.
That's life

It happens for various reasons really - sometimes a frequency clashes with another, not pre-thought, allocation to another airfield or agency. A case in point of this is 133.4MHz - currently used by the TRENT sector - which suffers from dreadful intereference sometimes from aircraft calling a French ACC sector.
As a result of this that frequency will be changing soon too - funnily enough to the old approach frequency - 119.525MHz.
Other times it's just as a result of reorganisation of equipment and transmitter sites.

Re: Manchester Approach Freq
I heard they changed it due to the fact there are so many frequencies in operation in the MAN area and some have been interfering. Something to do with this:
